Since you are still working on the html and because I got a page started before I got your script I will post this sample page. It has fewer checkboxes in each column and the amount need is only 3 but it will show you what javascript to use to do this. Notice the way the checkboxes are named. Each "column" has the same name and a different value. If you can't do this then the script will be more difficult.

It also may give you an example of how to layout the page.

Let me know what you think of it. You can copy the complete html below and put in a new html file to test.

I left 2 alert lines in the code and you can delete those if you want or leave them to see how the code progresses. They would definitely need to be removed from the page when it is ready for production (i.e. live site).

Sorry, although I have wanted to spend time on SOAP I haven't been able to yet. I have only read a bit on PHP's Curl. However there are definitely experts here that can help and some areas that can attract their attention. Let me know if you need a suggestion of an area but the PHP area would be at least one.

IE, and in fact other browsers, don't allow client side script like javascript to control the browser like you mentioned. You won't be able to use it to disable the Print button/option on the taskbar or under File.

Let me know if there is a problem getting the code to work but I'm glad you like it. I'm sure I can help with any problems or questions you have.

I hope you like or grow to like the new format. I have been exposed to it for years and decided to start helping over a year ago and like this site a lot.

You can't leave other experts out of a question. That would defeat one of the main benefits of the site, the community. In the short term you could post a message here with a URL to your new question to get my attention. Also, you can include my name (b0lsc0tt) in a question (title, body, comment) and I will find the question. Even without my name I regularly monitor a lot of areas and help in questions I can. Also, the Zone Advisors or moderators might be able to reach me and you can post a message in Community Support to ask about this at that time.

I hope this helps. There are other great experts and I think you would very seldom need this (if ever). Thanks for your interest. Let me know if you have a question about anything I said. See you around. :)

IF the user selects 5 or more boxes per column then the print button is activated - that is perfect, BUT if the user DESELECTS a box the print button is STILL activated - it should turn itself back OFF if there r less than 5 boxes selected per Column.

Sure, no problem and it is pretty easy. You can add that capability by modifying the If that enables the print button. The first part of the code below is from the original but I added the else statement.

This was worth 500 points so you can't increase it (that's the max). Even though the last thing was really a new question we did take care of it here. Starting a new question for it would've been the right way to give points for it but I can understand why you posted it here and don't think that was bad. However opening a question to give me points for this new issue would be the only way to provide more but that would technically be point passing. That isn't allowed. Even though I think it could be justified (this was a new question) it just isn't worth it. I did get points from this question and so its not like I was left out. Most important to me was knowing you appreciated the help and are satisfied. A nice note of thanks to EE for the great site that makes it possible is the only extra I would suggest. I am doing fine on points. :)
